New Kings coach George Karl is hoping to see more production from big man Derrick Williams, according to the Sacramento Bee . The former No. 2 overall pick is averaging 6.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 49 games this year.

"Derrick is one of our more skilled players, and we’re trying to figure out how he fits with the team," Karl said. "I thought that he and Andre Miller had chemistry together (Sunday). As a coaching staff, we feel that we should try and get more out of him, and more consistent value."

Williams was able to score 18 points in 23 minutes Sunday for the Kings.

"I know (Karl) wants to play fast, depending on the matchups and things like that," Williams said. "Most of the time when I’m playing (power forward), I'm quicker than guys at (that position). Just trying to get into transition, try to get easy baskets, things like that."

The Kingsdidn't offer guard David Stockton a second 10-day contract after his first one expired.

Stockton, the son of legendary Jazz PG John Stockton, scored one point in seven minutes in his only game with the Kings. He averaged 16.6 points, 8.2 assists and 2.4 steals in 31 games with Reno in the D-League before joining the Kings.
